Purple Sun F1 Carrot Seeds

[90–100 days] Purple Sun F1 is a stunning hybrid carrot with deep violet skin and intensely coloured purple flesh all the way through—unlike many purple varieties that fade to orange inside. High in anthocyanins and full of flavour, it’s as nutritious as it is beautiful.

This maincrop variety produces smooth, uniform roots with a sweet, earthy taste and crisp texture. It’s ideal for roasting, steaming, juicing, or slicing raw into salads for a colourful twist. The strong tops make harvesting easy, and it performs well in most well-drained soils.

Purple Sun F1 is also known for its improved resistance to splitting and cracking. For best colour development, grow in full sun and harvest at full maturity. A fantastic variety for gardeners looking to grow something unique and packed with antioxidant-rich goodness.

Height: 30cm (12"). Spread: 15cm (6").
